Influence of cartilage defects and a collagen gel on integrity of corresponding intact cartilage: a biomechanical in-vitro study
Even focal grade IV cartilage lesions can lead to significant damage to the corresponding cartilage in vitro. The damage could not be reduced by the use of ChondroFiller, likely because of the initial instability of this biomaterial. Therefore, a biomaterial must be stable in the beginning with regard to full weight-bearing, or joint loading should be delayed until stable filling of the defect is achieved.
